Double Trouble Badminton Strengthens With Increasing Numbers Badminton participants had double trouble this year, due to high sport interest and rising popu- lation growth. The six member varsity team, who were predominantly sopho- mores and juniors, lost vakjable players this past year and had to work harder in spirit, attitude, and ski. Lisa Sedlak, a junior on varsity, reinforced their efforts by saying, we may not have the most skilled team this year, but we have the hardest badminton workout around! Although the team endured strenuous workouts, they also ex- perienced many happy moments, such as singing their famous bad- minton song to the theme of Mick- ey Mouse. The strong junior varsity team, which consisted of six members, also experienced a laborious sea- son. With many hopefuls , or girls hoping to replace team mem- bers, team players produced ex- tra effort to maintain their posi- tions throughout the season. Coach Nancy Ellis, who was very pleased with the badminton program, stated that many peo- ple do not realize the endurance required for the sport of badmin- ton. She also remarked, the girls attitude is very good, spirit is great, and it's easy to produce a winning team all the time. Design by Valerie Rubio Photos by Andy Phelps Badminton.
